I want to live the full life
Take what's not mine
Find out the truth about this mysterious world
I want to face a trial
Have no denial
I want something to bring me closer to God
I want to feel pain
Experience bitter rain
Learn from my mistakes before it's too late
I want to hear a secret
Make a losing bet
Fall in love then get my heart broken and slowly recover
Rediscover
I want to start out with nothing
Gain until I have everything
I want to work hard
I want to face a challenge
Find a talent and excell
I want to move out of my comfort zone
Taste the great unknown
Be awestruck
I want to be naive
Grow up and leave my parents fortress
Be in a white dress
And caress my new born baby
I want to take my time
Stop and smell the roses
Appreciate everything that I have earned
I want to be concerned
Know what it's like to care and then be there
I want to listen to advice despite what I may think
I want to sing a lot
Not be shy open up inside
To one special person
I want to be well liked, respected, affected
By the people who know me best
I want to be disciplined
Know I sinned but be redeemed
I want to look at the sky
Count all the endless stars
Be mesmerized, feel small and know I still matter
I want to be the latter, put others first
I want to smile often
Soften when the time is right
I want to stand firm
Know what my convictions are and stand within them
Not crossing the line
I want to say no, be wise in how I talk
I want to say yes, do what I enjoy
I want to get older
And take a trip around the world
I want to play off the script
Make my own decisions
I want to value family
Invite them over on special occasions
I want to share my wisdom
Tell the people that really matter what I've learned
Hope they apply it
I want to relax
Toast my feet by the fire and then tire
I want my time to come
Very peacefully, all is silent
I want to slip into heaven
When I'm 87 and know I left the ones around me as best as I could
I want to sing in the choir
Know I'm worshiping something higher
I want to walk on streets of gold and it will never get old
I want this to go on for eternity and it will
On his holy hill
This to me is a Full Life

yes,
that was nice, Jenny Rose.
I like your style a lot.
-
definitely a full life!
I believe it to be true you will experience most of these things. However...reading this poem is like one long runon sentence. I find it better if the poem has stanzas and ideas within stanzas within phrases within words...just my thoughts. I do like it very much though. you have a nice talent for words.
-

stunning

::smile:: I like that. very free style with some rthymes here and there. I like it. All those things you want to do and more. And It makes me smile to think of when I was younger and all those "I want to" things, and then a few lines from a Joni Mitchelle song comes to me "..though the years spin by and now the boy is 20/though his dreams have lost some values coming ture/there'll be new dreams/maybe plent before the afternoon is through..." How true is all is.
Good Luck!

Beautiful write. Isn't this what we all want out of life? To be loved by family and friends and to just be happy. Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest.

merveilleuse..aspire higher and achieve all.
-
Wow girl, you got some talent. :]
&& I simply loved these lines,"Fall in love then get my heart broken and slowly recover
Rediscover
I want to start out with nothing
Gain until I have everything"
Just something about how well "slowly recover" rhymes with "Rediscover"...awesome no doubt lol.
I'm not usually into poems that refrence a higher power, "God", but I just can't get enough of your poems. Hope you the best in yer contest!
-
wow... I have some real competition on my hands! hehe awesome write. very well constructed. love the flow... just beautiful. Should you win? well deserved.
-
Act as per destiny!
Dear sweet Rose, the poem , as I understand,is in line with the saying,'Do your duty and leave the result to God'.Of course,with some deviations of thought due to disappoinment and misery of own mistakesa nd misgivings. More or less to live a life full, the path the poem has trodden is aptand inevetible! The sorrows come and go, the pleasure and gain is not to be there for ever. Treat the joy and sorrow indifferently and move forward, smiling. Nice write from you, a budding poet, my dear Rose.Bravo!
